Provost’s office to hold gathering of student work
AwanlS: Inaugural symposium will showcase undergraduate research at the end of April
By MELANIE SCOTT
Staff Writer
For the first time at USC, the Office of the Provost will sponsor the Symposium for Scholarly and Creative Work, a showcase of undergraduate research, on April 21 in Newman Hall.
The symposium will award the work and creativity of the undergraduate student community with monetary prizes, said Joseph Hellige, the vice provost for academic affairs.
"USC has never had a day to showcase the achievements of undergraduate research,” Hellige said. “We want this campus to celebrate the undergraduate community’s achievements.”
Students can enter their research projects into seven categories: arts and humanities, social sciences and economics, physical sciences and engineering, natural sciences and mathematics, health sciences, professional and applied disciplines and interdisciplinary studies.
Undergraduates are required to obtain faculty sponsorships for their entries, which will provide them with an opportunity to build relationships with faculty and prevent frivolous entries from being submitted, the Office of the Provost said.
Entries are encouraged to be submitted in poster form, though visual and performing artistic entries are also eligible. Posters should showcase the research topic with pictures and diagrams and should explain why students are researching their particular topic.
Posters and visual artistic entries will be displayed along Trousdale Parkway. Performance entries, such as dance, music, theater or film performances, will be exhibited in Newman Hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A panel of faculty judges chosen by the Office of the Provost will conduct the judging and the awards will be presented at 3 I see SympoahM. page 3 I
Kravitz scheduled for Springfest
Conceit Master-Mix Mike of the Beastie Boys, Goldfinger and others slated for April 10 event
By CLAIRE LUNA
City Editor
Lenny Kravitz will headline this year's Springfest along with two other bands in what organizers say will be a "Lollapalooza-type” event on April 10 in Hahn Plaza.
Artists Goldfinger and Mix-Master Mike of the Beastie Boys, as well as a rap act to be announced next week, are the other performers scheduled. The acts were booked after Wyclef Jean of the Refugee All-Stars turned down Program Board's $50,000 offer around noon Wednesday.
Around 5,000 people are expected at the event, which will also include a beer garden and booths from corporate sponsors, said Barrett Reiff, concerts director of Program Board and a sophomore majoring in accounting. Around 3,600 attended Springfest last year, Reiff said, when the headliner was Blink 182.
Though Reiff said that organizers had
been trying to book another national act such as Garbage, the Offspring or Hole, their proposals to around 25 artists were rejected.
"I came to them with $50,000 offers," Reiff said, "which is more than most people will make here after they graduate For some reason or another, they weren't into it."
Jean's agent did not elaborate on why the artist would not be able to appear at Springfest, Reiff said.
Reiff added that problems in booking a headliner act could also be attributed to organizers' delays in arranging the event.
"I wish we would have known sooner so that we could have offered headliners that kind of money so we could have coor-I see Concwrt, page 111

Continuing its support for USC housing and dining workers, Student Coalition Against Labor Exploitation organized a peaceful procession Wednesday to recognize “the sacrifices and struggles USC workers have made” during Lent, the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter.
Students and local religious leaders carried signs that read “All religions believe in justice” as they walked down Trousdale Parkway around noon.
“When we start seeing more students getting involved in this issue, that is the time when USC will pay more attention to the workers," said Kathryn Sweedler-Devlin, a sophomore majoring in theater, who joined the procession in support of the workers.

Speech: Lucille Roybal-Allard tells students to become involved in order to stop injustices
By BELKIMONTEJO
Staff Writer
Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard said that if students do not involve themselves in politics, then they are as guilty as the person in office for their injustices Wednesday night during an event closing Festival de Aztlan, the month dedicated to celebrating Latino heritage on campus.
Around 25 students attended her speech as part of Political Speakers Night in Topping Student Center, which was sponsored by the Latino Student Assembly and the Mexkan-American Alumni Association.
Roybal-Allard, who represents East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights and the area extending to Southgate, said
she got involved in politics because she realized that everything was in one way or another affected by politics, and encouraged students to be involved as soon as possible. The congresswoman also urged women and minorities to get involved in politics, citing the low percentage of women in government.
“Fifty-two out of 335 seats in Congress are taken by women,” she said.
Roybal-Allard was the first Latina to be appointed to the House Appropriations Committee and is now chair of the Congressional Hispanic Congress. She has been reelected to her Congress District, crediting her success to her concern about issues affecting not only the Latino community but also everyone else who is affected by decisions made by the government.
“(Roybal-Allard) created awareness on different issues that concerns the USC student body," said Patty Salazar, LSA’s public relations director.
